Shell script probelms run via autosys

[ADAM GRAY]

the thing i'd like to know is if anyone has ever written a shell script that works correctly when run manually in the shell but fails when run via autosys, and, if so, what did they do to fix it?

[Steve Carrobis]

Adam,

 

The shell is probably assuming path and not setup up the environment it needs to run.

This is always the case of running as a person and running as batch.

Adam,
Are you on Solaris?  Is the error "Invalid script error"?  It may be you need to add the particular shell being used to run the script to the agentparm.txt file in the WA_AGENT directory, or to turn off shell validity checking.  We're dealing with that right now.

We had that issue a few years back – we are a windows shop.

 

Here is what we got to work in autosys:

 

insert_job: C.VERTEX.00.SSS.CMD.ENCRYPT_PASSWORD   job_type: CMD

command: powershell.exe -NonInteractive -command "& 'c:\vertex\ABC123\EncryptVertexPassword.ps1' 'XXXXXXXX'"

description: "(ON DEMAND with Manager Approval) encrypt the password for the Vertex userid. change the parameter XXXXXXXX to the new password, run the job and change the parameter back to XXXXXXXX. Delete any logs from server."
